Tonifying the kidney has always been a topic that people cannot finish talking about. Tonifying the kidney and nourishing the kidney, try these three acupuncture points, which are simple and effective.
Taixi Point Gathers the Vital Qi of the Kidney Meridian
The kidney is the innate foundation of human beings, the source of life, from which both the yuan yin and yuan yang of the human body come. Taixi point is the original point of the kidney meridian, where the vitality of the kidney meridian passes through and stops. Therefore, the ancients called Taixi point "one of the nine points of Huiyang", believing that it has a strong function of restoring yang and saving adversity. In ancient times, many doctors used this acupoint to "replenish kidney qi and cut off life and death" in the face of dying patients. If a pulsating artery can be felt at this acupoint, it indicates that the patient's kidney qi is not exhausted and can still be treated; If there is no pulsation, it indicates that the patient's yin qi is entangled and more dangerous.
Therefore, you can often massage Taixi, an important acupoint, for about 5 minutes each time, without sticking to the method. Of course, during the flow time of the kidney meridian, that is, between 17:00 and 19:00 in the afternoon, the effect of massage is better. When massaging, you can use the thumb of the opposite hand to massage, or you can use a massage stick or a smooth wooden stick to massage; In addition to the feeling of soreness and distension, it is best to have a feeling of numbness when kneading with the strength.
Yongquan point invigorates the kidney and strengthens the vitality
Yongquan point is a very important acupoint on the Kidney Meridian of Foot Shaoyin in the human body. It is located at the intersection of the first third of the midline of the sole of the foot, which is the anterior depression of the sole when the foot flexes. The "Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic" says, "The kidney originates from a spring, and the spring is the heart of the foot." It means that the qi of the kidney meridian is like water from a source, originating from the foot and flowing out to irrigate all parts of the body and limbs. Therefore, Yongquan acupoint plays an important role in health care.
As for the benefits of massaging Yongquan acupoint, there is a song saying: "Three li Yongquan acupoint is the secret to longevity. Pressing it a hundred times before bedtime can strengthen the spleen and blood essence. It can nourish the qi and spirit, protect the three treasures, recognize their interests, and pick the longevity star at will." It can be seen that regular massage of Yongquan acupoint can make a person's kidney essence sufficient, ears and eyes clear, energetic, strong waist and knees, and strong walking.
Guanyuan acupoint seals and hides a body of Zhenyuan
In our body, there is a very important basic substance and motive force that maintain human life activities, called vitality. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that vital energy is innate, stored in the kidneys, and relies on acquired essence to replenish and nourish it. Its main function is to promote the growth and development of the human body, warm and stimulate the physiological functions of tissues and organs such as the viscera and meridians.
Vitality is innate, inherited from parents, and depends on nurture. Over time, it will gradually decrease, and people will show an aging trend. How can we better protect the vitality? Stimulating Guanyuan acupoint is a good method. The Guanyuan acupoint is like a valve in the human body, closing the vital energy of the human body so that it does not leak. It is a place where men store essence and women accumulate blood, as well as a place where yuan yin and yuan yang accumulate in the human body.
Stimulating Guanyuan acupoint can nourish kidney qi. For example, vitality is like a legacy left to us by our parents. The amount of it is certain. We take one out every day and use it. Over time, this legacy is used up. How can the number of this inheritance not be reduced too quickly? An important method is to strive to earn money and save some money for your own use. Stimulating the Guanyuan acupoint is equivalent to saving money for yourself. As you save more money, you can reduce the use of your parents' inheritance.
